As most of us know, submissions should follow PG's "Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity." Nevertheless, in discussion, the question of relevancy often comes up. So, HN, what is your definition of "Hacker News"?
A place of enlightenment. Where budding hackers (like me) can come and learn more about the internals of the hacker subculture. I feel HN has opened doors for me that I didn't even know existed before. I feel like the whole world is at my fingertips.
As someone extremely new to Hacker News, the posts and threads have all been insightful and interesting. To me, Hacker News represents a close community of intellectual technical experts and entrepreneurs. I'm excited to be apart of it!
